Fitbit Detects Woman’s Pregnancy Before She Does

One Reddit user turned to the online forum for answers when his wife’s Fitbit seemed to be on the fritz. Turns out, he was in for more than just a simple product replacement…

Fitbit is the leading health and fitness device on the market, with 9 million active users tracking their daily activities such as exercise, food, sleep, weight and heart rates all across the globe. And for one New York woman, her Fitbit’s data concerning her heart rate also served as an unconventional pregnancy test.

Using the handle YoungPTone, the woman’s husband wrote on Reddit, "She logged 10 hours in the fat burning zone, which I would think to be impossible based on her activity level."

He asked on the forum, "I'm not sure if something is wrong with the sensor. Is there a way to reset or recalibrate the device? I'd like to try that before I contact customer service about a possible replacement."
